First of all- the ABC example was simply to illustrate that not every time a person who is a minority is told "no"; is it a case of discrimination. I brought that up to show an example of how somebody could be told no but it not be discrimination. You will also notice that in that same example; most of my cases showed discrimination. (2 out of 3.)
The reason I am "dancing around the conclusion" is that I think that for there to be a solution, there has to be proof. So far Windsor has given quantitative reponses, as opposed to "I see it happen a lot." And the reason for asking this is from my (brief) study of phsycology in University, all humans tend to remember the bad and not the good. A classic example is the thread a while back on the McKenzie Towne traffic circle. I chimed in there as well saying that almost always I see somebody get cut off, when in reality I use the dang thing almost every day and it's probably 1 in 10 that something happens. Granted in the discrimination issue 1 in 10 is still way, way too high, but from what Windsor has said it happens most of the time to him.
I am genuinely trying to help. Perhaps some of my solutions may not work, but that all part of having a discussion. I suggested a boycott en mass and that was rejected. My next suggestion was to file a human rights complaint, and haven't heard anything back yet. Hopefully that is because a number of people have just started the complaint process, and are waiting to hear something back before posting.
If the intention of most of the posters affected is to rant, then please go ahead and do so. But let the rest of us know that it is indeed a rant and that you aren't looking for a discussion on the matter.
